Cloud Mercato Reaches 20,000 VM Milestone: Unveiling Next-Gen Cloud Analytics Tools
We are proud to announce that at Cloud Mercato, we have recently crossed the milestone of 20,000 virtual machines (VMs) started since our inception. This significant achievement underscores our commitment to comprehensive cloud analysis and positions us at the forefront of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) benchmarking.
The Power of 20,000 VMs: Driving IaaS Insights
Reaching the 20,000 VM mark is no small feat. Each virtual machine launched represents meticulous analyses, rigorous testing, and valuable data collection. These in-depth tests form the backbone of our mission at Cloud Mercato: to provide detailed and accurate information on cloud providers worldwide, covering crucial aspects such as performance, pricing, and much more.
Evolution of VM Benchmarking
We've expanded and evolved our benchmarking toolkit, moving from GB3 to GB6 (no more unnecessary talk), giving ourselves the means to dissect VMs exhaustively. We've got the classic sysbench CPU for simple arithmetic with divisions, as well as more complex tools like lmbench or openssl speed.
To elaborate on this evolution, our expanded benchmarking toolkit now allows us to perform comprehensive VM analysis. We've moved beyond simple benchmarks to include:
- Classic tools like sysbench CPU for basic arithmetic operations, including divisions
- More sophisticated tools such as lmbench for in-depth system performance analysis
- Specialized benchmarks like openssl speed for evaluating cryptographic performance
This diverse set of tools enables us to provide our clients with a nuanced and thorough understanding of VM performance across various scenarios and workloads.
Enhanced Compute Analysis
Building on our VM expertise, we've introduced a new Compute section in our Price and Performance Portal. This dedicated area offers in-depth analysis and comparisons of compute resources across different cloud providers, allowing you to make informed decisions about your IaaS needs.Beyond VMs: Comprehensive Cloud Resource Analysis
Our journey from 20,000 VMs has led us to expand our analytics capabilities across various cloud resources. We've developed a multifaceted approach to cloud analysis, covering everything from hardware specifications to advanced performance metrics.
